Setting The Radio To Am/Fm Receiver Mode; Channel Selection (Am/Fm Band); Setting The Radio To Clock Mode - Midland XT511A User Manual

Model XT511A Series
If the radio receives a WX ALERT signal from a designated NOAA
station while on AM/FM or GMRS/FRS mode, the radio will beep for
20 seconds while the ALERT icon will appear blinking on the display
while the FLASHLIGHT and the display illumination will blink
altogether. In this case, the user should set the BAND switch to WX
position to listen for any weather alert broadcast.
The ALERT icon will remain blinking on the display when it
receives a WX ALERT signal unless the BAND switch is set to
WX mode or any button is pressed. This is to remind the user
that a WX Alert signal has been received, in case they missed it.
To turn the NOAA WEATHER (WX) ALERT off, press the MENU
button once while in WX Band. The ALERT icon will appear on the
display while on the right an "on" icon appears. Select "oF" by
turning the TUNING knob. To confirm, press the PTT or MENU
button.

SETTING THE RADIO TO AM/FM RECEIVER MODE

To set your radio to AM/FM RECEIVER mode, move the BAND
switch in AM or FM position. The LCD will show the current AM or FM
channel setting.
Note: When switching from Weather or GMRS modes to AM or FM
radio, you may notice a delay before the radio tunes into a station.
This is normal operation and is not an indication the radio is not
working. You may also notice this delay when Powering the Radio
ON in AM or FM modes.

CHANNEL SELECTION (AM/FM BAND)

Turn the TUNING knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select the
AM or FM frequency. Turning and holding the TUNING knob will
make the radio scan for the frequency continuously until it receives a
strong signal.

SETTING THE RADIO TO CLOCK MODE

To set your radio to CLOCK mode, just turn the POWER/VOLUME
switch to OFF. The display will show the current time setting.
